i3/conf not configuring keymaps in ubuntu 14.04.
I remapped a couple of keys in my setup, specifically,
remove Mod1 = Alt_R
add Mod3 = Alt_R
in a file called .Xmodmap
. When I run xmodmap .Xmodmap
from the terminal, the keys get remapped just fine. But when I added exec xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
to .i3/config
and exited the session and logged in again, the keys weren't remapped. I had to remap them manually? My question is, why did the line I added to the conf file not work?
